The yellow text on the right reads: "What's up, bro?" Below, black text in Times New Roman font reads: "To tell him how he felt, he would have to open up. But opening up was harder than it seemed in the movies, no?" Below that, a paragraph reads: "If two people are in love but don't know what to say to one another about it, or perhaps are mostly afraid of changing things that are 'fine enough for now', then what happens? Must some hand of a god reach down and change their lives for them? Or is fate kind, and generous, and simply inevitable? If your blood is the same temperature and viscosity as another's, and your heart is pumping that blood at the same tempo as their's, then who's to stop you other than the terrors of your childhood? And better yet, what will you do when you feel their lips on yours? Will you allow a familiar hand on your shoulder, in an unfamiliar way? Will you allow it to grow more familiar? Will you kiss him? Will you weep?"
